    Quick Project Steps

    Setup: Cut a length of beading thread and thread your needle. Attach a stop bead.
    Starting the Stitch: Begin with a pattern of an 11/0 seed bead, a two-hole bead, and repeat, forming a circle by passing through the first added bead.
    Building the Tube: Continue adding two-hole beads and 11/0 seed beads, alternating and stepping up at the end of each row to form a tubular shape.
    Adjusting for Pattern: To create a spiral pattern, alternate the order of beads with each row. For a straight pattern, maintain the same order.
    Finishing: To finish, connect the ends to form a bangle or attach clasps as desired, ensuring the pattern is continuous and seamless.
    Additional Tips: Maintain even tension throughout to ensure uniformity in the stitch.

    Too much scrolling to find your product or color even with the filters. The filters don’t allow you to see all of the color choices for an item at one glance for example. You spend too much time finding what you want. It gets frustrating!

    I had a fun & easy shopping experience. I found everything that I want for now!

    It's obnoxious that the site tries to sell customers other things during the checkout process. The purchase button is brighter and more noticeable than the "No thanks" button, which probably tricks many naive customers and makes them not want to shop here again.
